I'm very interested in seeing how this turns out. I was thinking about doing it to Colossus.

Just curious why are you going with coil overs in the front and not the rear?
It just seems like it would be better to use the coil overs in the rear and leaves in the front. You would eliminate any axle wrap that way.

I'd rather have to deal with spring wrap in the back than in the front. There's not much room in the front.

I was SOA front 4 link coilover rear for a while and switched the front to coilovers 2 years ago. If I were starting over with 4 leaf springs again I'd link the front first.

after having the last couple months to think about this i decided to stretch the front so i picked up an astro van steering box. The whole front section of my frame is going to get cut off and redone. And I will be going with 37 for tires. I will keep you updated as soon as i start working on this.

FYI the lower link axle end brackets go flat side down.

The Poly kit installs easily and the parts are beefy. The only thing I don't like is I think there could be a little more seperation at the frame end but I think they make that sacrafice for ease of shadetree install. Overall it's a great kit with a lot better geometry than most off the shelf kits.
